Topsy turvy

A rather good piece on Borat and comedy from the writer of 'The Jerry Springer Show' (the theatre one).

Guilt-free pleasures | | Guardian Unlimited Arts: "Food was stolen from stallholders and redistributed. We were shouted at, shoved and shocked. Our drinks were flung on the floor. We followed the clowns into the chief's house, where an absurd Indian dance was performed at the dinner table for the benefit of his white guests. Back outside, Pueblo women were made to wear different-sized shoes, so they struggled and stumbled as they walked; young men were clad in dresses and forced to skip. And when confronted with someone in a wheelchair, or a mentally handicapped onlooker, the clowns would fall before them on their knees in worship."
